$7.99
Creeping or moss phlox 'Candy Stripes' is a cultivar with cute pink-white striped flowers. Forms medium-sized, low-growing mats that spread slowly.
The dense, low, evergreen or semi-evergreen mats are completely covered with flowers for about 2 weeks in early to mid spring. An easy-to-grow and adaptable perennial, its only needs are some sunlight and drainage is essential! Deer and rabbit resistant; black walnut, drought, heat, and humidity tolerant.
Favorite plant for xeriscapes, rock gardens, edging, dry slopes, as substitute for the lawn in sunny drier soil, sunny areas of woodland gardens, for native plant gardens or naturalizing. Looks very good with rock. Although this plant is considered "ground covering," it's not competitive enough to be considered a true groundcover - it can compete only in sunny and dry spots (other plants can quite easily self-seed, intermingle or even overpower it).
